Yet another Memorial Day was upon us this year. For the first time in a few years, we only had one horse in the race. Bri was an observer and Kiff was playing trumpet. Tony and Nancy also joined us, and it was great to see so many people we knew in attendance.
Sadly, the actual parade was canceled for this year. There forecast called for rain and there would have been a downpour right before the parade ended. However, the ceremony in the multipurpose room at HRMS still continued.
As with most years, the ceremony was great. The band played and the chorus sang. Dave McKenna, from the Historical Society, talked about the legacy of Danvers soldiers in the Revolution...which was significant given this is the 250th anniversary of the country. Kiff also performed Taps in front of the audience this year (he was the shadow last year). He did an amazing job.
